## Summary

The procurement process for the "North West NHS 111" service has undergone a contract modification under the Provider Selection Regime, specifically due to urgent circumstances permitted by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This involves the NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, located in Preston, acting as the buying organisation. The contract was initially set to end on 31 March 2026, but it has now been extended for an additional 18 months, with a new end date of 30 September 2027. This extension was initiated to allow time for a regional review and further direction from NHS England regarding the 111 service specification, maintaining continuity of this critical health service in the UKD region. The procurement stage has moved past the Tender stage, with the current focus on Contract Award and Modification.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those capable of integrating with national emergency services like the 111 and 999 services. Companies with experience in providing healthcare services at a large scale could find this extended contract timeline advantageous, as it allows for strategic planning and potential future involvement in the recommissioning process. The North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, already involved as a supplier, highlights the potential for collaborations with existing NHS service providers. With a substantial contract value and ample duration, businesses in the healthcare supply chain—especially those with the capacity to meet urgent service requirements—may find growth opportunities within such public health service contracts.
